Some people say that television is useful for education, while others say it is useful only for entertainment. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

It is argued that

television

aids in gaining knowledge, while some believe that it only

the amusement purpose

Although

, watching

television

helps in getting more awareness regarding the global issues, I believe that people watch it to reduce their stress, by not having to use their brains while watching it. On the one hand, the small screen serves an important motive in educating men and women regarding the current global issues, and

also

informing on various other topics that are not necessarily taught in schools and colleges. It is because channels like History

channel

, Discovery

channel

, National geographic

channel

,

etc

are some information giving platforms regarding various subjects

otherwise

unknown to the world.

For instance

, in a report of The Times newspaper, an African kid won the

first

prize in a science competition, without even studying that subject in school, because he watched a show on Discovery

channel

related to that topic.

However

believe

that

television

is mainly for enjoyment

of education. Despite the above

argument

, I believe that entertainment and

broadcasting visual images of stationary or moving objects

television

go together, as one can find myriads of channels on it ranging from music, daily soaps, cartoons to movies, etc. People watch it to kill their boredom or in their leisure time to relax from their hectic lives, not for studying as it creates more distraction than concentration.

For instance

, in a recent survey in Slovenia, it was found that while watching

television

, the brain activity reaches

zero level

a zero level

,

thus

creating a calming effect on one’s mind. To conclude,

although

, there a variety of channels on

television

that leach out knowledge on various subjects to the world, I believe that

television

is a source of entertainment only, as everyone watches it to reduce their stress and not to be educated as there are many different modes to gain knowledge.
